Red-Red

Red-Red is a popular dish from Ghana made from cowpeas (black-eyed peas). It is thought to have been named for the combination of red pepper and red palm oil that is used in the cooking process. The Red-Red cowpeas stew is usually served with fried plantains, and is a lunch favorite in Ghana, particularly among office workers.

If you are “unbeanz,” (i.e. unemployed) you can survive on this meal easily because the ingredients are inexpensive. This is most commonly served with fried ripe plantain (popularly known as “koko”). It is an ideal choice for vegetarians and vegans.

How to Cook Ghana’s fast Rising Cuisine – Red Red

Ingredients:

2-3 cups dried cowpeas (black eyed peas) or similar
1 cup red palm oil (or vegetable oil)
1-2 onions, thinly sliced
2-3 ripe tomatoes, quartered
Cayenne pepper or red pepper
Salt and black pepper to taste
Several ripe or near-ripe plantains
1-2 bouillon cubes

(Optional) Small piece of smoked or dried fish
(Optional) One spoonful of shrimp powder

Step 1

Clean the black-eyed peas in water in a large pot. Soak them in water for at least an hour or overnight. After soaking them, rub them together between your hands to remove the skins. Rinse to wash away the skins and any other debris. Drain them in a colander. If you are using smoked or dried fish: remove the bones and skin, rinse and soak them in water, then dry them. If you are using dried shrimp: grind the shrimp (or obtain already ground or powdered shrimp).

Step 2

Place the black-eyed peas in a large pot, fill the pot with enough water to just cover the peas. Bring to a slow boil; reduce the heat, cover, and simmer until the peas are tender; thirty minutes to an hour. When cooked, the peas should be moist, but not standing in water.
Step 3

While the peas are cooking: Heat the oil in a skillet. Fry the onions until slightly browned, then add the tomatoes, and fish and dried shrimp (if desired). Mash and stir the mixture to form a sauce.

Step 4

Stir the onion-tomato mixture into the black-eyed peas. Add bouillon cubes (if you are not using fish or shrimp). Simmer for ten minutes. Add salt, black pepper, and cayenne or red pepper to taste.
Step 5

While peas and sauce is simmering: Prepare fried plantains.

Step 6

Serve peas and plantains side by side on a plate.

How to Prepare Fried Plantains:

Step 1

Peel and thinly slice the plantains lengthwise.
Step 2

Fill a skillet with 1 inch of Canola or vegetable oil. Preheat the skillet until hot, but not smoking.

Step 3

Fry the plantains until they become golden brown color, and then flip to the other side. This should take about 2 or 3 minutes in total, but let your eyes be the judge.

Mette Frederiksen: Restrictions can continue throughout the winter

If you are afraid of sharks, you should probably not read on. The seas around Denmark are home to several different shark species. And now another species may be on its way. It writes several media . Most people probably associate the white shark with more exotic skies, but it is not inconceivable that we can see it at home. This is what Karsten Bjerrum Nielsen, head of exhibition and dissemination at the Kattegat Center, says. - There is a theoretical possibility that it will be able to enter Danish waters . The great white shark thrives in cold water, reminiscent of ours here in Denmark, he says. Right now there are also several animals in the Danish gardens that the white shark can put its teeth into. It could, for example, be the bluefin tuna, which reappeared in Denmark again in 2016 after being away for more than 50 years. If the white shark shows up at home, it must share a home with a number of other shark species, which you can read about here.
